migratory birds – which way do I go George?

“Many creatures are mistiming their migrations (due to a warmer climate), or failing to bother as changes between seasons become less clear. The shifts make them vulnerable to heat-waves, droughts or cold snaps. They are the most visible warning signs — indicators signaling the dramatic changes to our ecosystems caused in part by climate change.”
